·Some of that fancy tissue paper, to see if is all that. Not cheap at all.

··London sunburst dial fanAn aftermarket bracelet for my Seiko 5 7s26
I’ve always liked the micro-adjustable Seiko bracelets but because I have such skinny wrists, the inside of the clasp can sometimes dig into my wrist uncomfortably - particularly if it protrudes, as mine did.
The red arrow points to the protrusion and the blue shows that I was on the last adjustment hole.
The new generic bracelet is much more comfortable.

··@SpeedyBirthYearHere's my contribution to this thread. Although I have to admit I was given the artwork, I did buy the frame, though.

··London sunburst dial fanI saw this vintage generic 18mm bracelet on eBay for £15 and put it in my watchlist. I was then offered it for £10 and bought it.
I’ve no idea which watch will get it 😯

·I've got a wedding coming up in a couple weeks so I picked up a leather strap for the Speedy. Think I got a decent deal on eBay, an oem 3861 strap+deployant for $250. Looks great and I think it'll go nicely with my suit

··A lot of room for comedy in there, gang.Just received this Razor-Wire bracelet from US. Thank you to @Lou P for putting this on my radar.
This was a buy first, figure out what to do with later purchase. I have a feeling I’ll be testing this on some of my prim and proper watches to coax out their wild sides.
I understand that resizing it will be an adventure but then they did name it razor-wire so who am I to complain.
Fashion show to follow.

I was kicking myself for missing this when it was initially released, but Silca acquired the intellectual property and leftover inventory of dials, hands and "movements" from Seiko, whose watch factory was apparently contracted for the initial builds. Silca's using their own (improved) electronics and are selling what they can build in small batches.
Ridiculously expensive, but as a watch lover I'm used to that.

··A lot of room for comedy in there, gang.A US1035 flat link bracelet because:
1. I’m still too squeamish about resizing the original 1039 bracelet that came with my vintage 145.022; and
2. US keeps sending me discount codes and I keep buying stuff.

·Happened across a 1116 at a price that didn’t make me squeamish. So I had to jump at the chance to pair this to my Speedmaster 145.022 Mark ii Racing dial project.
Now to find the matching set of vintage 575 end links.
